Glen Beck's Fox News advertisers - "Blood On Your Hands"

[ThreeCrows]

The New York Times reports that 298 companies refuse to run ads on Glen Beck's program. Drummond Pike, the target of a Glen Beck inspired assassination attempt, is appealing to remaining sponsors of the Fox News program.

Does this mean "progressive hunters" will lose their "schoolteacher?" It's pretty unnerving to watch, but there's a video in the link below:

Tides Foundation To Beck's Advertisers: Stop Or You'll Have Blood On Your Hands

It's time to stand up to violent rhetoric and demand change. And that's exactly what Drummond Pike, CEO of the Tides Foundation has decided to do by going to the advertisers of Glenn Beck's program--the one that so inspired and motivated domestic terrorist Byron Williams (and yes, I'm going there)--and telling them their continued sponsorship makes them equally culpable:

The next "assassin" may succeed, and if so, there will be blood on many hands. The choice is yours. Please join my call to do the right thing in this regard and put Fox News at arm's length from your company by halting your advertising with them.

The only companies still advertising on his program are shysters and fraud artists that prey on the paranoia of old white people.

I doubt if they give a shit whether they have more or less blood on their hands...particularly the gold companies she shills for.

I posted a thread here about the sad state of his advertising in the summer. I doubt if much has changed. I'll try and find it.

Glenn Beck is one of the worst demagogues in the history of the country. It's pathetic some people believe his lies.

He will go down in history as one of the worst Americans who ever lived. You would expect that from a suicidal, drug and alcohol addict.

If you're a patriotic American, boycott Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.

Conservatives, do you want to answer this? Could you also let us know about Hannity's, Limbaugh's, Governor Brewer's, Karl Rove's while you're at it?

What is glen back's educational qualifications?

My understanding is that he graduated High School was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Liberty University in 2010.

Glenn Beck has no Tertiary Qualifications other than his honorary degree.

Oh, and Glenn Beck is an idiot.

 

[BostonPirate]

I love Glenn Beck. Anyone that can piss off that many lefists has to be doing something right. So to speak...

oh really

tell me of his tallents

Expound upon his many wondrous abilities

 

[ThreeCrows]

What is glen back's educational qualifications?

He has described himself as “recovering alcoholic rodeo clown with limited education.” As AdmiraalW238 noted, he does not have a college degree, but was granted an honorary Doctoral Degree from Liberty University.



@jubhug:
Because he can "piss off that many lefists"? Actually, the ones he is really pissing off are his own listeners and people on the right. As noted in the OP, his fear mongering and theatrics inspired a man to commit a premeditated attack on two groups of people. Is that a good thing?

This is not like leaving a nasty voice mail or sending a letter to voice one's discontent. Byron Williams drove down with three guns, with the intent to "start a revolution" by attacking the the Tides Foundation and the ACLU in San Francisco. I think we are all lucky that he was stopped. Now, hopefully, the source will be stopped too.

Beck has no college experience. Not surprising.

Moving up a bit, Hannity, Limbaugh and Rove are all college dropouts; Hannity at NYU, Limbaugh at Southeast Missouri State University and Rove at UoUtah.

Governor Brewer of Arizona actually graduated from...Glendale Community college with an Associates in Political Science. CC is REAL hard .

We really surprised now?

It's not like that's a real talent. Anyone can make up crazy shit solely for the sake of pissing a bunch of people off and boosting ratings. Why do you think Fox News brought him on board in the first place? To them, getting him was like winning a big cheap prize at a carnival game.

Sewage running through a concert hall would probably piss off a bunch of leftists, too, but that's no reason to think it smells good.

 

[CowboyBob]

He draws attention to himself because of his over the top rhetoric. He preys upon the stupid and ignorant and he's laughing all the way to the bank. Advertisers have finally realized that and have abandoned him.

 

[rareboy]

Always remember though that Hitler was a failed house painter.

 

[Spiff]

Advertisers have finally realized that and have abandoned him.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. He has lost advertisers ever since joining Fox. But he still has some big money financing his circus. And most will likely continue as long as he brings in those big Fox ratings from the millions of bigoted, stupid people out there.

Advertisers still with him: JP Morgan Chase, GEICO, Zurich Financial, Chrysler, Direct Holdings Americas, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Lilly Corporate Center, BP, and The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. None of these have committed to stop sponsoring the show.

Yes, educational background and employment history is important.
And yes i would ask all the educational/employment history of those people

Liberty Uni? LOL,
Dawkins said students should leave Liberty Uni for the teaching of creations.

After reading up on this, are those companies that advertise on Fox, but not on the Glenn Beck Show? Since I don't watch the Fox Propaganda Channel or Beck's show, I don't know who foots the bill. If they're advertising directly on his timeslot then they need to be boycotted. Fox is bad enough but if they're hawking their goods and services directly on Beck's show then they need to go.

According to the posted article, they are Glenn Beck sponsors. "Drummond Pike, CEO of the Tides Foundation has decided to do by going to the advertisers of Glenn Beck's program. . .Drummond Pike. . . penned a letter on Friday to the Chairmen of the Boards of JP Morgan Chase, GEICO, Zurich Financial, Chrysler, Direct Holdings Americas, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Lilly Corporate Center, BP, and The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.
